A content delivery server is configured to: receive a request for a chunk of a segment of a video stream, the segment of the video stream including a series of chunks, each of the chunks including a set of video frames, a first of the chunks being aligned with a first Instantaneous Decoder Refresh frame in the video stream, and a second of the chunks being aligned with a second subsequent Instantaneous Decoder Refresh frame in the video stream; determine whether the request was received during a first interval or a second subsequent interval of an intra period between the first of the chunks and the second of the chunks; output the first of the chunks or the second of the chunks for transmission based on the determination of whether the request was received during the first interval or the second interval.

Embodiments of this application provide a video transmission method, apparatus, and system, to reduce an end-to-end transmission delay of video data. The method includes: A transmit end obtains a first frame of image of the video data, where the first frame of image includes a plurality of sub-images, and the plurality sub-images include a first sub-image and a second sub-image; the transmit end performs layered encoding on the first sub-image to obtain a plurality of layers of bitstreams of the first sub-image; the transmit end sends the plurality of layers of bitstreams of the first sub-image to a receive end; the receive end decodes the plurality of layers of bitstreams of the first sub-image to obtain the first sub-image.

Systems and methods for dynamically multiplexing requested linear media channels and network data on forward link traffic streams of a communication link to a craft media delivery system are provided. Furthermore, systems and methods for receiving dynamically multiplexed requested linear media channels and network data on forward link traffic streams of a communication link by a craft media delivery system are also provided.

Disclosed is an electronic device that receives a packet of a content image including a plurality of frames from an external device, transmits a signal indicating whether a packet is received, including a request for a bit rate of an image in a transmitted signal, receives a packet with a changed bit rate of the image based on the request, and displays the image on the display based on the received packet.

Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method comprising determining a set of digital assets to transfer to a destination device, generating, from the set of digital assets, a corresponding set of chunks, where each chunk is a pre-defined size, for each chunk in the set of chunks, transmitting the chunk to a service node included in a set of service nodes, and verifying that the service node received the chunk, where the set of service nodes receives at least two chunks of the set of chunks in parallel, and after the set of service nodes send the at least two chunks in parallel to the destination device, verifying that the destination device received the set of chunks.

A device and a method for authorizing access to a service on a first device upon detection of a second device located in near proximity, while preferably using broadcast transmission, is disclosed. The second device broadcasts on a second broadcast network a message comprising at least a group identifier common to the set of devices that can access the service and a time reference value corresponding to the emission time of the message, according to a common time reference received by all devices from a first broadcast network. The first device authorizes access to the service only if the group identifier received from the message is the same as the group identifier of the device and if the delay between the measured arrival of the message and its emission time is lower than a threshold.

The present invention relates to a multicast-based content transmitting system and method, and a device and method for estimating high-speed movement. Included are: a content providing device for generating N×M multicast stream channels having different transmission start times and transmission rates, providing N×M multicast stream channel lists, and transmitting content through one channel of N×M multicast stream channels; and a user terminal for selecting one channel of the N×M multicast stream channel lists provided from the content providing device and receiving content through the selected multicast stream channel.

A video encoding device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may transmit an encoded frame with a frame sequence number using a transmission protocol. The video encoding device, an application on the video encoding device, and/or a protocol layer on the encoding device may detect a packet loss by receiving an error notification. The packet loss may be detected at the MAC layer. The packet loss may be signaled using spoofed packets, such as a spoofed NAM packet, a spoofed XR packet, or a spoofed ACK packet. A lost packet may be retransmitted at the MAC layer (e.g., by the encoding device or another device on the wireless path). Packet loss detection may be performed in uplink operations and/or downlink operations, and/or may be performed in video gaining applications via the cloud. The video encoding device may generate and send a second encoded frame based on the error notification.

A video quality assessment method and device are provided. The video quality assessment method includes: obtaining a to-be-assessed video, where the to-be-assessed video includes a forward error correction (FEC) redundancy data packet; when a quantity of lost data packets of a first source block in the to-be-assessed video is less than or equal to a quantity of FEC redundancy data packets of the first source block, generating a first summary packet for a non-lost data packet of the first source block, and generating a second summary packet for a lost data packet of the first source block; and calculating a mean opinion score of video (MOSV) of the to-be-assessed video based on the first summary packet and the second summary packet. The MOSV calculated according to the method is more consistent with real video experience of a user, so accuracy of video quality assessment can be improved.
